Yun Mengyan, who was wearing a veil, raised her hand and gently touched her face which was covered in ointment. She looked in the direction of the Cloud Border Inn with a sinister expression.
"Get someone to keep an eye on her. I don't believe that Jun Jiuji can keep Ye Yining in his arms for 24 hours a day."
Wasn't Ye Yining afraid that she would seduce Jun Jiuji? Why did she have to do that?
If she only had a few thoughts about Jun Jiuji before, then all her thoughts were now focused on seducing him and dealing with Ye Yining.
Since she was young, no one had ever dared to treat her like this!
She had to get Jun Jiuji!
…
Cloud Border Inn.
Ye Yining rested for an afternoon and recovered her energy very quickly.
Yunlai had nothing better to do and didn't disappoint. He bought a lot of medicine seeds and herbs.
However, she also mentioned something else.
"Miss, I saw Miss Yunjiao when I went to the medicine shop today. She was holding a strange black token today and secretly bought a pair of siblings who sold themselves to bury their father…"
Ye Yining's expression was a little sluggish as she quickly remembered something.
In her previous life, Ye Yining had also bought a pair of siblings from Cloud Border City.
At that time, her brother wanted to go to the Monan. She was worried that her brother wouldn't eat well there and no one would take care of him, so she sent Yunlai to her brother's side.
However, Ye Yunjiao also wanted to join in the fun, so she sent the younger sister, Tao An, to her brother's side.
After her brother's accident, Yunlai had also died. She naturally thought that Tao An, whom Ye Yunjiao had sent, was also dead.
Now that she thought about it, things might not be what she thought at all.
Also, Li 'an's martial arts skills weren't bad. Later on, he was promoted by her father and entered the army.
When her father was in trouble, this Li 'an followed his father.
At the thought of this, her eyes couldn't help but be dyed with a touch of hostility.
It turned out that at this time, the Crown Prince had already set up spies around her eldest brother and father through Ye Yunjiao.
No, those two people mustn't be brought home by Ye Yunjiao.
Thinking of this, she immediately reminded Yunlai,
"In the future, help me keep an eye on Ye Yunjiao. She already knows that she's not my biological sister. Her heart is filled with hatred for our family…"
Yunlai's expression changed and she immediately replied,
"Miss, don't worry. I understand."
Outside the door, Jun Jiuji, who was about to knock on the door, heard the conversation between Little Ye Yining and Yunlai. He immediately walked to the side and gave a few instructions to Hoshino.
Hoshino nodded and left quickly.
Not long after, Hoshino came back to report,
"Master, I've already confirmed that the siblings are from the East Chu Country. That black token is the token of the Yun family, a wealthy merchant in Cloud Border City. However, the Yun family had fallen more than ten years ago. The Crown Prince's men had come into contact with this pair of siblings a few days ago."
Jun Jiuji nodded slightly and said indifferently,
"Kill him."
"Yes." Hoshino quickly went to carry out the order.
Fifteen minutes later, two corpses suddenly appeared at the inn.
They had died under the eyes of the Crown Prince's men, so the Crown Prince's expression was rather ugly.
Especially when he found out that the person who died was someone he had carefully arranged for Ye Yunjiao to be sent to the General's Estate, he was even more furious.
He had meticulously set up such a big chess game, but Ye Yunjiao had actually given herself away.
He angrily ordered,
"Find another pair of brothers to take care of Ye Yunjiao."
The people he wanted to arrange to enter the General's Estate had to be carried out according to the original plan.
Not long after, another pair of "siblings" appeared by Ye Yunjiao's side. These two were still called Tao 'an and Li 'an.
When Jun Jiuji found out that Tao 'an and Li 'an had been "resurrected", his lips curled into a cold smile.
"Kill again!"
He wanted to see just how many pairs of siblings the Crown Prince had prepared.
In just a breath, there were two more corpses in the inn.
This time, the Crown Prince was really angry.
What he wasn't sure about now was whether Jun Jiuji had discovered the problem, Ye Yining, or Ye Hanxiao.
No matter who it was, he would endure it for a while.
Without the siblings, he could still arrange for someone else.
…
The next day.
The introduction of the items for the first auction of the rare treasures of the four countries was out. People on the streets and alleys were talking about those items.
Ye Yining, who was eating at Yunxiang Restaurant with Jun Jiuji, also received an item introduction.
There was a wide variety of items, with a variety of functions and uses. It was dazzling to see.
Jun Jiuji saw that Little Ye Yining was focused and asked softly,
"Is there anyone you like?"
Ye Yining was silent for a moment. She pointed at the item ranked 77 and said,
"This Dragon Scale Sword is not bad. It suits my big brother."
Ye Hanxiao, who was sitting at the side, widened his eyes in shock.
"Ye Yining, how did you know that I wanted this Dragon Scale Sword?"
"I guessed," Ye Yining said with a smile.
In his previous life, Big Brother also liked this Dragon Scale Sword, but it was later bought by the Crown Prince and given to Mo Huanchong.
Mo Huanchong had relied on this sword to step on her father's shoulder and gained the title of "New God of War".
Now that she saw the Dragon Scale Sword again, she naturally didn't want it to fall into Mo Huanchong's hands.
"Little Ye Yining, don't you have anything you want?" Jun Jiuji cared more about what she liked.
Ye Yining shook her head.
"Many of these rare treasures are not rare. I don't think I have any use for the rest."
Compared to spending a lot of money to buy these things, she actually wanted to find an opportunity to earn some merit points.
"Since Little Ye Yining isn't too interested in those items, let's go to the Huaqing Pool in the afternoon and then the auction later."
Ye Yining's eyes lit up.
She had almost forgotten that there was a Huaqing Pool near Cloud Border City!
This place was good, a natural medicine spring. The water in the medicine spring had the effect of detoxifying, nourishing, strengthening the body, and improving the eyesight. Both men and women liked it.
However, the entrance ticket to Huaqing Pool was very expensive. It was 10,000 taels per person, so not everyone could go.
In her previous life, she had only been to Cloud Border City once, but she had never been to the Huaqing Pool. It was Ye Yunjiao and Su Yu 'er who had been there and had flaunted it in front of her.
This time, she had picked up so much silver for free. She didn't feel that it was extravagant to go to Huaqing Pool.
"Do we need to prepare anything?" Ye Yining looked at Jun Jiuji curiously.
Jun Jiuji saw that she liked this arrangement, and the smile on his face deepened.
"Just prepare a change of clothes."
When Ye Hanxiao heard this, he quickly said,
"Ye Yining, I won't go. You go with His Highness Jun Jiuji! I want to save the silver to buy the Dragon Scale Sword."
Jun Jiuji didn't want to ask Ye Hanxiao to go, but seeing how tactful he was, he added a sentence.
"Go to the auction house earlier tonight. This king will send someone to guard there and help you bid for the Dragon Scale Sword."
Seeing that Jun Jiuji was willing to help, Ye Hanxiao hurriedly thanked him,
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Previously, he was only 30 - 40% confident that he could win the Dragon Scale Sword. Now that he had the help of Jun Jiuji, he felt that he had a 90% chance of winning.
Ye Yining was also worried that her big brother wouldn't be able to get the Dragon Scale Sword, so she called Yunlai to the side and secretly gave her a large stack of silver notes. She then whispered a few words into her ear.
Yunlai cleverly nodded.
"Don't worry, Miss. I know what to do."
After lunch, Ye Yining didn't return to the inn. Instead, she followed Jun Jiuji to the Huaqing Pool.
As soon as they left, Yun Mengyan received the news.
After making some preparations, she got into the carriage and headed to Huaqing Pool.
